Annoying rattle solved for about 4 cents

[Blu bi Kong]

So I've been meaning to pull off the grab handles on the pillars and find out the knocky rattley sound inside them. Turns out the noise was coming from the little clip in covers that need to pop off to access the bolts fastening the grab handles. So I put a piece of gorilla tape on the underside of the cover trimmed it so you cannot see it and snapped them back on.
Problem got kind of crazy going over washboard roads in Death Valley this last trip. Now, zero movement in any of those clip in covers! !!

Good for you!.. I know what it's like to have an annoying little rattle, then the satisfaction of fixing it!

I’m having rattling noise but mine sounds like it’s from the seat belt area

Look at the top side of the driver seat on the wall just behind the roll bar. There's a plastic cover thingy that just snaps on. Mine gets loose and rattles every once in a while. I just snap it back in place.

Did you actually calculate the cost of the tape used?

PS... I hate rattles.

See if it goes away with the door ajar while rolling.

Yes, with a very sophisticated super engineered ( yet stock) God given guessing tool!

The great thing about fixing one rattle, is it gives you the opportunity to fix another one, that you couldn't hear due to the first one.
I guess it's a Jeep thing!

Everything seems to be in place, can you take a pic of where you are talking about?

Solved part of the rattle issue thanks to this post, the upper cover on the passenger grab handle is now quiet thanks to a small dab of silicone sealant. But I still had a rattle over washboard/gravel roads and it turned out to be the passenger sunvisor chittering against the top of the windshield frame when in the stowed position. A couple small pieces of single sided foam tape on the visor and everything is quiet.
